Computer Illiterate

[arcFlash]

Yep! Funny is that I paid for most of my college working on cars and many people at my shop ask me to listen to their car clunk or clank and I get it most of the time but I always have three or four things in my head. I give something like, 25% it's the starter, 50% battery, 12% wires are green and 12% the key. The remaining 1% is rounding error.

You have to keep your options open to keep credibility.  ;D

I just finished a head gasket on a Honda Del Sol if anyone wants a 1995 Honda with 150k.  No warranty!

Honest car talk: Even the classic diagnoses isn't a sure thing. My wife blew the head on her Honda and the coil went at the same time. I did some basic diag. and figured the head but I didn't see milky oil so I went with a timing belt slip. The belt was old and it looked loose so I replaced it but then no spark so I tested the coil and it was bad. Replacement got it running but it overheated right away and then the milky oil showed up telling me the head blew.... lesson: It's not always one thing. I guess the weak head put a load on the coil and burned it out and the new one finished off the head gasket but I'm not a pro, just a recovering gear head and a tightwad who can't bring himself to pay $90 an hour.

If you want my 2 cents on your Chev PM me.
